Book Table Robbed – Again

Thieves attacked our popular ‘Book Table’ outside Main X-Ray in the Richard Salt Unit again last week. This time it was a planned robbery as they came equipped with chain cutters and other tools, removing one collecting box and smashing the lock on the other. This is a sad day for us, the patients and the supporters of the ‘Book Table.’ We feel sorry for the people who did this who feel that stealing charity money in Good Hope Hospital is acceptable behaviour. We have now withdrawn the service as we cannot allow money destined to support patient facilities to be stolen.
